They are 8 Pistons for the Front. Stock Track Calipers in the back with a bigger rotor.

The brembo brake system that we got was not a production item for the 350Z. We got a little lucky that brembo made 2 sets of those brakes - 1 for their SEMA car and we got the other one.

I got a good deal on the brakes, unfortunately I cannot release the price. Regarding the production, I was told that Brembo is not planning to make anymore. But you can always call Brembo and ask.

We haven't installed the brakes yet. We need to wait for the new HRE wheels to come. The brakes won't fit into any regular production wheels (even the big ones). Your wheels need to be custom made to fit the caliper.

Based on my last conversation with HRE, it looks like the wheels will be 19X13 on the rear and about 19X10 on the front. HRE is suppose to come hopefully this week to finalize the new offset of the car.

Brandon = yes, that steering wheel came from an R32 Skyline. It will be going on my new project (S13).
